• Filtration Equipment

For daily maintenance! Since filtration cleaning can be done without stopping the machine tools, it allows for effective use of cleaning time.

The agricultural machinery manufacturer Y Company struggled with unstable processing accuracy and tried various filters without success. They had also purchased an expensive filtration cleaner in the past, but it remained unused. Then, they introduced the "J-FS." By operating it 24 hours a day, they were able to recover sludge that had previously been uncollectible, and the accuracy stabilized. "We received feedback saying, 'The introduction cost was low, and now it’s an indispensable product.'" 【Solution】 ■ J-FS: Recirculating tank cleaning filtration cleaner - Can be operated while the machine tools are running - Reduces cleaning time - Suitable only for cutting processes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We will introduce the implementation results of the sensor technology developed by the Hotron Group, which has been cultivated over more than half a century, through customer case studies. In addition to automatic door sensors, we also offer a wide range of vehicle detection sensors and nursing/care sensors. Many implementation examples are also presented, so please take a look at the case study page.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8
